A Note to Parents
DK READERS is a compelling program for beginning readers,
designed in conjunction with leading literacy experts, including
Dr. Linda Gambrell, Professor of Education at Clemson
University. Dr. Gambrell has served as President of the National
Reading Conference and the College Reading Association,
and has recently been elected to serve as President of the
International Reading Association.
Beautiful illustrations and superb full-color photographs
combine with engaging, easy-to-read stories to offer a fresh
approach to each subject in the series. Each DK READER is
guaranteed to capture a child’s interest while developing his

or her reading skills, general knowledge, and love of reading.
The five levels of DK READERS are aimed at different
reading abilities, enabling you to choose the books that
are exactly right for your child:
Pre-level 1: Learning to read
Level 1: Beginning to read
Level 2: Beginning to read alone
Level 3: Reading alone
Level 4: Proficient readers
The “normal” age at which a child begins
to read can be anywhere from three to
eight years old. Adult participation
through the lower levels is
very helpful for providing
encouragement, discussing
storylines, and sounding out
unfamiliar words.
No matter which level you
select, you can be sure
that you are helping your
child learn to read, then
read to learn!
